What are Facelifts like for Men?

Aging men looking to appear active and healthy can feel rewarded through facial rejuvenation procedures. One of the most understandable concerns for men considering a facelift is whether the results will be noticeable by others. By using meticulous techniques, men enjoy the benefits without the added stress of looking overdone. With years of expertise, your leading New York City plastic surgeon, Dr. Aviva Preminger of Preminger Plastic Surgery, provides details about what facelifts are like for men.

How are male and female facelifts alike?

The goal of both genders is to achieve a natural-looking rejuvenation, restoring a youthful appearance. As the fundamentals of a facelift are the same for both male and female patients, some plastic surgeons may do things a little differently when working with males. However, using a quick-recovery approach can allow both genders to minimize downtime by potentially returning to daily routines and responsibilities within 10 days, depending on your body’s healing process. You may be able to return to work in as little as 14 days.

How are male facelifts different?

Most patients that choose to have a facelift seek to maintain a healthy youthful appearance driven by the desire to show they are confident. The area near the neck and jawline are the most common areas that are concerning for men. With discreet results in mind, celebrity plastic surgeon in Manhattan, Dr. Preminger, meticulously disguises the incision within natural creases near your ears. Facial hair may help conceal incisions as well.

What non-surgical facelift alternatives are available for men?

A surgical facelift is the best way to reverse significant signs of aging. Non-surgical methods may provide temporary solutions but could be useful for men who show mild aging or are not ready to undergo a full facelift procedure. Below are some of the most common non-surgical options for men.

• BOTOX Cosmetic – Botox is an injection that relaxes the muscles that contract and form lines and wrinkles. The most commonly treated lines are the horizontal lines on your forehead and the lines between your eyebrows. Unfortunately, Botox will not address the loss of volume or sagging skin in the lower areas of your face.
• Dermal Fillers – When your skin has lost its youthful volume from beneath the surface, dermal fillers can rejuvenate sunken areas.
• Laser Skin Rejuvenation – Laser treatments designed to rejuvenate your skin’s surface can also stimulate natural collagen production resulting in a firm appearance. Men are less likely to choose laser skin rejuvenation because of thicker skin and beard, which protects against the fine line wrinkles that the procedure targets.
